Trinity Ridge US Bank Helps Local Organizations Fire Update: As of Tuesday, August 21st, the Trinity Ridge Fire near Pine & Featherville was just over 90,000 acres and only 5% contained. The main goal of the 1200 fire fighters currently on this fire is protect the nearly 500 buildings in the Pine/ Featherville area. Some backfires have been set, but the potential for thunderstorms and gusty winds last night made that a risky tool in the short term. Beyond protecting homes and other buildings, containment is not expected until the middle of October. That means there will be a lot of smoke in the air for at least another month or so. The area from Featherville to Paradise is under an evacuation order, and the Pine Featherville Road is closed to all but fire and emergency traffic. An evacuation center has been set up by the Red Cross at the Pine Senior Center and the Pines Resort. The Trinity Ridge Fire started on Friday, August 3rd. The suspected cause is a utility vehicle that caught fire along a roadway.

Last week, the 5th District Magistrates Commission announced their decision to fill two Magistrate vacancies - one in Cassia County and one in Twin Falls County. Calvin Campbell, Prosecuting Attorney for Gooding County since 2005, was chosen to fill the Twin Falls Magistrate position which was vacated by Nicole Cannon earlier this year because of a DUI citation. Mr. Campbell has also served as the prosecutor for Camas County since 1997. He was appointed to that position because there have been no candidates for Prosecuting Attorney, except in 2008 when R.J. Twilegar ran unopposed as a Democrat. Mr. Twilegar took nearly 400 votes (65% of the ballots cast), but the results were overturned because Mr. Twilegar failed to establish residency in the county. The Cassia County Magistrate position was filled by Blaine Cannon, a Cassia County deputy prosecutor. He replaces Judge Rick Bollar who moved to the magistrate position in Minidoka County. Mr. Cannon is the ex-husband of Nicole Cannon. After their appointment, magistrate judges serve an 18-month probation period. After that period each judge stands for an election in their county, and if retained, they serve a four-year term.
Camas Chamber Meeting will be August 23rd at the Iron Mountain Inn, 7 p.m. Topics of discussion will include the sign on Johnson Hill, the LED reader board at the school, and the Gem Community team.

Miss Camas County Pageant On Monday of last week, the Miss Camas County pageant was announced and a facebook page was setup. The pageant will be held in April or May of next year (2013) and is open for young ladies in 1st through 12th grade. 1st thru 6th will compete for Jr. Miss and the older girls will compete for Miss Camas County title. The pageant will consist of an interview portion (the largest amount of points), an opening dance, a formal gown, an onstage question, and special outfit relating to the theme of the pageant - Starry Nights. This is a great opportunity for our young ladies to feel special, and to learn how to present themselves in public.

To capture the memories, a photographer has been booked to offer photo packages for all the young ladies.

...but never Compromising the Truth.
Thank You to All who were Tough & Pink
To individually name everyone that helped to make the North Canyon Medical Center Foundation “Tough Enough to Wear Pink” campaign at the Gooding County Fair and rodeo would be an impossible task. Created in 2004, the TETWP campaign has empowered western events to focus attention on the benefits of early detection and the need to find a cure for breast cancer. In Gooding, the annual event has grown each year with attendance at this year’s luncheon nearly tripling that of last year. All proceeds from the Gooding County event will be used locally to support breast cancer awareness and the ongoing fight against breast cancer. To the organizational committee, to all of the volunteers and hospital staff members that planned, decorated, prepared and served the luncheon and beverages, to those that sold and bought memorial balloons, donated and purchased auction items, we offer thanks. To the survivors and those that are currently making the journey through breast cancer treatment, to those that proudly wore their “survivor sashes” and encouraged others with their bravery while facing the battle of breast cancer, we offer thanks. To those that attended the Friday rodeo performance and turned the stands into a sea of pink, to the clowns and their pink barrel, to the cowboys and cowgirls and arena helpers in their pink shirts, to the community members that purchased “pink rodeo teams”, to the announcers and music providers that promoted the cause, we offer thanks. It is so gratifying to live in a community that comes together in support of a worthy cause with a determined desire to make a difference in someone’s life. To everyone that helped in any way, we offer thanks and our heartfelt gratitude. Sincerely, Susan Faulkner for the NCMC Foundation

The Hemlock’s... A Story of Two Killers There are two poisonous Hemlock’s living in Idaho. Poison Hemlock is number 39 on the Idaho Noxious Weed List and Western Waterhemlock is listed in Weeds of the West. Similarities of these plants are: Both can grow upwards of 9 feet tall, stems are hollow, have white umbrella shaped flowers, are wetland type plants, have a large thick white taproot and both are highly toxic to humans and animals. Differences are: Poison Hemlock is a Non-Native biennial, hence the Idaho Noxious Weed listing, stems are mottled with purple spots, has fern-like leaves and a disagreeable musty odor much like a mouse nest. Western Waterhemlock is listed as a perennial, leaves are very un-fern like. Both of these plants are abundant in the Magic Valley and many counties to the North. This writer has found small Western Water Hemlock plants growing in Magic Valley ditches this fall. Now is a good time to hit them with a broadleaf herbicide or to dig them out, before they get larger or an unsuspecting bovine, ruminant or human ingests some and we read about it in the papers. Images of these plants can be obtained by “Googling” them or inquiring of your local Noxious Weed Control Superintendent. Terry D. Ruby, Superintendent Tri-County Noxious Weed Control

Eurasian Watermilfoil This is prime summer water recreation time in Idaho and that has prompted state weed officials to caution Idaho boaters to take special precautions not to spread the invasive aquatic noxious weed Eurasian watermilfoil. The noxious aquatic weed has already established footholds in various Idaho lakes including Payette, Pend Oreille, Spirit, Hayden and Cocolalla. It has also been found in various small lakes along the Boise River, in gravel ponds near Eagle, the Airport pond in Emmett, at Moon Landing in Eagle, and in slow moving waters of the Payette River in the Montour area, according to Roger Batt, Idaho Weed Awareness Campaign coordinator. Eurasian watermilfoil crowds out native aquatic vegetation and forms a dense mat on the water’s surface, which kills fish and increases the pH of the water. Eurasian watermilfoil even has been known to result in swimmers being drowned after they became entangled in its large dense weed-mass. Divers have removed over 100 tons of the noxious weed from pristine Payette Lake in just the past few years in an attempt to get infestations under control. “Once Eurasian watermilfoil gets established in a body of water, it is almost impossible that this noxious weed will be eradicated. Boaters need to be especially alert not to spread Eurasian watermilfoil after visiting bodies of water where infestations of the aquatic weed are known to exist. The last thing we want recreationalist to do is to unknowingly spread this nasty weed to other areas,” Batt said. Eurasian watermilfoil reproduces by a process called “fragmentation”, which means a tiny piece of the plant the size of a small postage stamp can start a new infestation of the noxious weed. Pieces of the weed picked up by boaters, jet skiers or even on boat trailers can be transported to another body of water where Eurasian watermilfoil can gain a foothold. People need to take a moment to check for and remove any weeds from their boat, motor and trailer before they leave the area. Dispose of all vegetation on the bank or in the nearest trash receptacle. Do not throw it back into the water. “Boaters also need to pump the bilge of their boat after they pull out of a body of water. Eurasian watermilfoil can stay alive for weeks in the bilges of boats and can be easily transported to another body of water,” Batt said. Eurasian watermilfoil is one of about a dozen aquatic noxious weeds among the 64 varieties of noxious weeds identified and listed in Idaho. Weed officials estimate that weed infestations cause more than $300 million in direct damages to the state’s economy, agriculture, and our lands and waters every year. For more information on identifying and preventing the spread of Eurasian watermilfoil and other noxious weeds, go to the Idaho Weed Awareness Campaign’s Internet website at http:// www.idahoweedawareness.org/.

...but never Compromising the Truth.
Treaties & America’s Sovereignty Opinion: U.S. Senator Jim Risch, R-Idaho Over the last few years, the U.S. Senate has seen a number of treaties come up for consideration. As a member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, I have a constitutional responsibility to consider them carefully and thoughtfully. Recently, the committee conducted a number of hearings on the U.N. Convention of the Law of the Sea Treaty, and the Obama administration has sought to conclude a U.N. treaty on reducing firearms. Sadly, both of these treaties, as currently written, would push the United States away from our constitutional foundations and supplement its authority with judgments from international courts and U.N. bureaucracies. Since the beginning of our Republic, the United States has used treaties to end wars, govern international affairs and improve our security. In fact, the United States has ratified more than 160 treaties. In and of themselves, treaties are worthwhile if they advance the interests of the United States. What concerns me most about these new treaties under consideration is how they seek to subject U.S. laws and citizens not to the U.S. Constitution but to the judgments of international courts, appointed commissions and U.N. bureaucracies. Under our system, the highest law of the land is the U.S. Constitution. Often, when the U.S. Senate ratifies a treaty, Congress must rewrite our domestic laws to maintain this precedent. I will not vote for any of these treaties that encroach in any way on U.S. sovereignty. Unfortunately, the language in many new treaties seeks to make them “self-executing,” therefore bypassing the role of Congress and undermining the primacy of the U.S. Constitution. Hence, a U.N. commission could make a determination and require U.S. law to change to conform to some international commission. I will not vote to hand our sovereignty and constitutional protections over to people who are not accountable to U.S. citizens and, in many instances, advance a liberal international agenda. For example, in America there is general agreement a person has a right to self-defense and a right to use a gun as part of that self-defense. Conversely, U.N. organizations argue gun control is mandated by international human rights law and there is no right to self-defense. I am unwilling to approve any treaty that would jeopardize a U.S. citizen’s right of self-defense. In the case of LOST, one provision would force the United States to conform to international environmental agreements or be subject to lawsuits in an international court. The U.S. Senate refused to ratify the Kyoto Protocol, a binding U.N. agreement to cut greenhouse gas emissions. Why should we allow this to be done through the back door? LOST also requires the “sharing of wealth” from deep sea drilling with countries such as Cuba and Venezuela, and this redistribution of wealth would be decided by a U.N. commission. Our laws are developed through elected officials who serve with the consent of the American people within a constitutional framework. I do not believe in transferring these principles to international bodies that will ultimately undermine our system and the freedom of all Americans. U.S. Sen. Jim Risch serves on the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, where treaties are brought for consideration.

Cup of Tee Your Local Libraries...
Two weeks ago I mentioned that I would be going on a backpacking trip in the Sawtooth Mountains. To my own horror, I said it would be next month. I meant to say it would be next week. I left it out there for someone to cover my column for the week. Sorry there were no takers. I myself was not able to write ahead of time or even write for last week - obviously. My original route was to go through Grandjean, Idaho. That was changed because of a road closure from Grandjean to Bonner Summit due to forest fires. Look out Sun Valley, your gate was open. The second hurdle was a boat ride across Red Fish Lake at Stanley. To some that is a great adventure. Personally, I don’t swim. So, boating is not one of my top ten destined entertainments. All went well, coming and going. It was easier to get out of the boat once they took the hand cuffs from the boat railing. When one thinks of the Sawtooth Mountains, they think of pristine. That’s a very good description of the mountains, if everyone does their part to respect nature and leaves no evidence of their passing. When we analyze “pristine” we find the word means “pure, untouched, uncorrupted, or unspoiled.” I think someone was giving me the wrong meaning for pristine. My first night of attempted rest was almost a night for bad dreams. For three nights I slept on a rock, but that was not the problem “granite.” Someone released the word that I was a new kind of camper bait. At 8700 feet, the mosquitos had eaten everything they could below me in altitude. The only course they had left was our four person team which included 20 courses (4-five course meals). Big electrical generators were quite compared to the 1000 kilowatt mosquitos. Once, I found my sleeping bag (with me in it) had been carried to another temporary rock bed (maybe struggling found me rolling to new heights... who knows). Early in the morning, with no sleep, I found my ears still ringing with no hypodermic needles gouging me. The smoke for the fires slowed the mosquitos from drilling new blood wells. That was wonderful, but it was also time to get up to do more backpacking. As I looked at the definition of “pristine” again, I found that I was there for “pure” mosquito sport. “Untouched” was not even in my vocabulary. “Uncorrupted” were not my thoughts. “Unspoiled” was me because I gave the mosquitos all I had, even thought they whined for more. All in all, my backpacking trip was good except for the ash falling out of the sky like snow, and of course... the mosquitos. This is my “Cup of Tee” rethinking pristine.

Legislative News from Representative Donna Pence August 16, 2012 It is time to begin the campaign issues of my Legislative update. Up to this point I have been catching up with projects around our house and farm. Lew and I worked in a fishing trip to Alaska and we even are enjoying tomatoes and squash I managed to get planted amongst the flowers and shrubs on our berm. I have also been busy organizing the campaign and getting staff and volunteers in place. My greatest strength is the key volunteers in each city in our District who assist with signs, volunteers and walking. I couldn’t win without their valuable contributions. So far we have attended Parades in Hailey, Richfield, Wendell, and Fairfield and have three left to go. It is always a treat to interact with the people at these events. I have and will be knocking on doors throughout the District and look forward to visiting with many of you. There likely will be forums in Hailey, Shoshone and Gooding later this fall and I will make sure to include these event dates as they get set. I attended, as an ad-hock member, every meeting of the Sage Grouse Task Force that met this spring. Our four counties have a healthy number of core, important, and general designated acres. Core designation consists of lands that support healthy populations of Sage Grouse and will be protected extensively. Important designations are just a notch below in populations and still warrant protections but are not as restrictive as to what can be done on those lands. General designation constitutes lands that originally had Sage Grouse but for a number of reasons currently do not support large populations. They have even less restriction on what activities can occur. The members of the task force worked diligently to come up with a plan that will satisfy the Fish and Wildlife Service that the State is going to meet their obligation to preserve habitat and the birds themselves. The plan went through a two week public comment period, the Governor and his staff incorporated these comments and it has been submitted to the federal agencies. They have until October to complete their Draft Environmental Impact Statement. I was pleased to see that Brian Kelly of the Idaho Office of the Fish and Wildlife Service approved, in a letter recently, the management framework developed by the Task Force and indicated it provided a sound policy outline from which to meet long term conservations goals for the Sage Grouse in Idaho. Along those same lines, If you are interested in our states game and non-game species you may want to attend the Fish and Game Summit on August 24-26. You can go to Boise or attend at regional Fish and Game offices and be able to view the speakers and presentations from there. Contact the Idaho Fish and Game office in Jerome soon if you are interested in attending the local group. In our latest General Fund Revenue report for 2013 we found projected revenue was lowered slightly to reflect the im-

Hagerman Fossil Beds Celebrates 96th Birthday WASHINGTON: Hagerman Fossil Beds NM National Park will celebrate the 96th birthday of the National Park Service by holding a Family Fun Festival on Saturday, August 25. Ranger-led activities will take place at the Visitor Center from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. “Birthdays are a time to celebrate and we want everyone, especially the children of America, to join the party,” said Carol Ash, Chief of Interpretation. “National parks belong to all Americans and offer something for everyone – so visit the park, wander a trail, take in the scenery, or try your hand at one of our activities. Children especially enjoy the popular Junior Ranger program where they earn a badge by taking part in kid-friendly activities.” The National Park Service was established on August 25, 1916. The United States was the first country in the world to set aside its most significant places as national parks so that they could be enjoyed by all. Today, we care for 397 national parks throughout the country – each one an important part of our collective identity. Some parks commemorate notable people and achievements, others conserve magnificent landscapes and natural wonders, and all provide a place to have fun and learn something. Plan your visit at www.nps.gov/findapark. The mission of the National Park Service extends beyond parks into communities across the country where we work with partners to help preserve local history and create close-to-home recreational opportunities that revitalize neighborhoods and enhance the quality of life. To see what we do here in Idaho, go to www.nps.gov/ID. pacts of laws the Legislature passed. Specifically HB 563 that reduced the rates on the individual and corporate income taxes. Two other bills which will have impact are HB 45 which redirects 1.6 million in alcohol license fees from the General fund to the Idaho State Police and SB 1410 where cigarette tax funds have been increased to the General fund to pay for higher School Bond Levy Equalizations. The good news is that even with these reductions reflected we are still projected to have a 3.2% increase over 2012 revenues. With the Supreme Court ruling the Affordable Care Act constitutional there have been some significant changes appearing on the health front. The new women’s preventive services that directly impact children are: Diabetes screening for pregnant women - Helps improve mother’s health and that of the child. The children of women with gestational diabetes are significantly at risk of being overweight and insulin - resistant during childhood; Breastfeeding support, supplies and counseling. Breastfeeding is one of the most effective measures mothers can take to protect their health and that of their children.
